**Reveals what it’s like to live with Britain’s most lawless men, from the women who married them**

Behind every good man is a good woman—but what lies behind every bad man? In 11 funny, moving, searingly honest first-person accounts, details are revealed about the lives and loves of the women who are, quite literally, married to the mob. Readers are introduced to devoted mother-of-three Judy Marks, who was imprisoned alongside her husband, notorious drug smuggler Howard Marks; Flanagan, the first ever Page Three girl, who found herself splashed across the papers as the fiancée of legendary East End villain Reggie Kray; and Jenny Pinto, wife of gangster Dave Courtney, who gave the police keys to their house to stop them breaking down the front door.
